He was a gentle man, a polite and quiet man, until he walked on a stage and let loose a voice that shook the world! Springsteen wanted to sing like him and Presley called him the greatest singer in the world. He headlined tours with opening acts such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as support. His influence as a singer and as a song writer can be heard in their songs. The Orbison influence can also be found in the music of the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, U2, Neil Young, and a myriad of underlings right across the spectre of music from country to punk rock and beyond.

But Roy still appeals to that "lost and lonely" feeling we all get sometimes. Most of his songs have this bittersweet quality to them.
No, his vision was just fine. He had lost his regular glasses just before a concert, wore the only available pair, which were his prescription sunglasses, and he liked it so much, it became his trademark.
